Stretch & Sew 440
Stretch & Sew 440
The Maxi Skirt!!! I loved them when they first arrived on the fashion scene and I still do, especially in an a-line. Stretch & Sew 440 from 1974 in hip size 30-46 inches. “For a dressy look, this long a-line skirt provides comfort and fit with classic styling. One pattern piece for front and back makes it easy to sew with darts to add shaping and an encased elastic waistband which eliminates the need for a zipper.”  Two pattern pieces to make this amazing skirt! Yippee! To purchase click HERE
Sew, what do you think? Great finds? I think so. I really love the maxi skirt; the length gives it a bit of elegance and it’s easy to sew. What a combination!
Well, that’s it for now. More later. Carry on and Keep Stitching!

Mid Week Listings At GoofingOff Sewing

It's mid week and almost July. Has anyone else noticed how fast time flies the older one gets? I spent my youth wishing I was older, couldn't wait until I was 16, couldn't wait until I was 18 and independent....now I know better than to wish my life away. I learned to savor each and every minute, especially the anticipation and build up of special events...after all, the events go so fast.

Well, enough of that. Got to get to work. 

Here's a few patterns recently listed in the GoofingOff Sewing Shop on Etsy. The patterns are Stretch & Sew from the 1970's. They were designed for stretch fabrics (hence the name) and have all sizes in each pattern. All are uncut and never meant to be cut. The purchaser would trace the pattern onto paper and use the tracings to cut the fabric. Two great things came from that.....complete patterns that were uncut. Woo hoo!

The styles were often classic looks (OK, not all. Safari jacket, anyone?) like cardigans and sweaters, T-shirts, tabbed collar shirts, etc.
Stretch & Sew No. 200 Raglan Sleeve Top and Sweater, Size 28-42 


Stretch & Sew No. 350 Ladies' Shell Size 28 -42. Includes four collar variations.  ..... Love the do!

Stretch & Sew No. 300 Set-In Sleeve Top and Sweater Sizes 28-44
 Here's one for the guys so they don't feel left out. 
Stretch & Sew No. 1750 Set-In Sleeve Tab Front Shirt Chest Sizes: 34-48
